Secluded Home with Lake Rights! Enjoy the best of both worlds, access to the beautiful and family friendly Half Moon Lake beach (lounging, swimming, boating, fishing, games, play equipment and more), and the comfort of a home set in over 4.9 acres of a private, tranquil landscape. This Colonial farmhouse is nestled in NH’s famed Lakes Region and its landscape features a delightful combination of colorful perennial wildflower beds, grassed play areas, fruit trees, blueberry bushes and more, surrounded by natural wooded edges for optimal privacy in an unparalleled setting. Character and charm grace this mid-1850's cape with unique period exposed ceiling beams, original fireplaces, and wide pine board floors. The home has had some recent updates including Andersen Windows, new siding 50% done, roofing, and kitchen flooring. The fully-screened and covered shade porch is a lovely place to relax any time of day with ample seating space. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including one over-sized bedroom that could be split in half. A private first floor front room sits adjacent to a half bath and can be used as a guest bedroom or office. The yard also features a designated tennis area and a small barn structure currently used for storage. The perfect blend of country and chic!
